stairway to heaven

there's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold

and she's buying a stairway to heaven. when she gets there she knows

if the stores are all closed

with a word she can get what she came for. ooh

ooh

and she's buying a stairway to heaven. there's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure

'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings. in a tree by the brook

there's a songbird who sings

sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven. ooh

it makes me wonder

ooh

it makes me wonder. there's a feeling i get when i look to the west

and my spirit is crying for leaving. in my thoughts i have seen rings of smoke through the trees

and the voices of those who stand looking. ooh

it makes me wonder

ooh

it really makes me wonder. and it's whispered that soon

if we all call the tune

then the piper will lead us to reason. and a new day will dawn for those who stand long

and the forests will echo with laughter. if there's a bustle in your hedgerow

don't be alarmed now

it's just a spring clean for the may queen. yes

there are two paths you can go by

but in the long run

there's still time to change the road you're on. and it makes me wonder. your head is humming and it won't go

in case you don't know

the piper's calling you to join him

dear lady

can you hear the wind blow

and did you know

your stairway lies on the whispering wind?

and as we wind on down the road

our shadows taller than our soul. there walks a lady we all know

who shines white light and wants to show

how everything still turns to gold. and if you listen very hard

the tune will come to you at last. when all are one and one is all

to be a rock and not to roll. and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
